Telltale CEO Dan Connors takes time to discuss the Telltale Pilot Program with G4TV, especially where it could head in the future.
Connors: Right now, I would say there's four products in development at Telltale. This is one (Puzzle Agent), with another three, all at different stages.
"One thing we might do...there's a lot of talk around here about lawyering types of games".</p></div>Sam & Max & Puzzle Agent we know of. What else is in development right now I wonder?

G4: One of the things that happens in the TV model is it's not necessarily all produced internally -- pilots can be outsources, ideas can come from the outside. Is the Pilot Program something that could possibly expand outside of Telltale?
Connors: Oh, yeah. That's definitely part of our growth plan so we go from a huge operation to a mega-huge operation. Definitely, I think that's something [we could do]. We've got a channel, we've got a infrastructure to support product coming through, so it may be something where we look for partners to work on something and maybe something where somebody is incubating an idea or a concept that's just a really cool franchise and has an installed base and taking a shot in the interactive world makes sense and it makes sense to us, so it might be that kind of thing.
Bill Tiller. Paging Bill Tiller...
I'd love to see Bill put forward a concept as a Pilot, have it greenlit. Then work on the art and plot for the season, while Telltale collaborates with the script and polish.
Or even "the Further Adventures of Mona the Vampyre"? There's likely to already be a story arc mapped out for the possible episodes 2 and 3. Or is 2 already in production, it's hard to keep up?

I think he's talking about games on the Pilot Program rather than full games like Sam & Max.

G4: Just to clarify, you said you have four different things in the works at Telltale. Is that four different projects entirely, or four different Pilot Program games?
Connors: We're more in the idea phase on the pilots. We're definitely talking to the team internally about different types of products we could build out of pilot and different things we should pursue. We're in production on other titles that will be our more typical Telltale stuff.
